    Cinque Terre
    VIP Private Tour + Premium Wine Tasting

    8-9 hours La Spezia / Genoa, Italy 5.0 (196 operator reviews)

    Tour Description

    Discover the beauty of Cinque Terre, where colorful villages rise dramatically above the Mediterranean. Explore Monterosso with its beautiful beach and medieval center, Vernazza known for its charming harbor, Manarola - one of the coast's most iconic villages - and Corniglia, perched high above the sea with spectacular views.

    In Riomaggiore you visit a scenic local winery, learn about Cinque Terre's ancient wine-making traditions, and enjoy a premium tasting of local wines. Wine tasting is available for an additional cost per person.

    The tour includes round-trip transfer between the cruise terminal and the train station, but does not include the Cinque Terre day pass. The experience is primarily a walking tour, and while all five villages can be visited in one day, we recommend focusing on three or four villages for a more relaxed experience.

    The tours are guided by handpicked professional tour guides, fluent in English, with licensed touristic vehicles.

    Itinerary

    1

    Monterosso

    The largest of the Cinque Terre villages and the only one with a true sandy beach. Explore its charming medieval center, narrow alleyways, historic churches, an old tower, local shops and authentic Ligurian flavors.

    2

    Vernazza

    Often considered the most romantic of the five villages - a picture-perfect harbor town built around a tiny natural port, with colorful houses and the remains of its medieval castle overlooking the coastline.

    3

    Manarola

    Perhaps the most iconic and photographed village in Cinque Terre, perched dramatically on a rocky cliff with colorful houses cascading toward the sea.

    4

    Riomaggiore

    A colorful maze of steep lanes, stone houses and terraces above the sea. Here you visit a beautiful local winery, discover ancient wine-making traditions and enjoy a premium tasting of local wines.

    5

    Corniglia

    The only Cinque Terre village without direct access to the sea. Reaching its historic center involves a long flight of steps, rewarded with beautiful coastal views and a quieter, more authentic atmosphere.
